I need to remove the ashtray holder. I previously took my entire center console apart to get to it, but I think I can get to it easier by removing the burlwood trim and AC Trim above it. Does anyone have the PDF's to removing the AC Trim?

In case you were wondering, I need to remove my 'custom' ashtray holder to re-work to install a different ipod/iphone mount. I'm thinking it will be easier to get to this time after removing the said AC Trim.

Thanks.

 

easy!
pry off wood piece with a/c vents in it
disconnect hazard/lock switch
unscrew two screws above a/c controls
pry off entire piece (clips on both sides of a/c and radio, and below buttons for PDC/DSC etc)

done.

 

Does anyone have schematic diagrams? I need to be sure that I will be able to access the top of the ashtray that is covered up by the ac control trim in order to unscrew it.

 

Thats pretty much it.
